Distinguishing between Pied currawongs: question

You can't colour band any bird species without specific approval from the Australian Bird and Bat Banding Schemes and the ACT Parks and Conservation mob. As Philip has said, they are pretty well impossible to tell apart but males are
slightly bigger. Physical deformities can sometimes be of use with individual birds as Con said.

I don’t know of any visible difference not even between M & F. It comes down to your word “easily”. The standard answer is by banding them with colour bands.
However there are so many it would be a big task.

Pied currawongs or a Pied currawong visit one of our birdbaths one at a time, i.e. there is not a group hanging around, very often. Is there any way to easily distinguish Pied currawong individuals from each other?
